Dear AIM Members,

Just as most families support, nurture, and care about each other, The AIM Companies™ corporate family strives to provide Members with support through the power of nutrition. Just as most parents know, being a good listener is sometimes more important than being the all-knowing figure who rules with a heavy hand.

As AIM parents, we feel that nurturing our Members is a rewarding and lifelong experience. We seek to gain knowledge through their desires and seeing for themselves how nutrition relates to their own lives. This knowledge then becomes much more than just a learned process; it becomes a mental tool that is used daily without extra thought or planning. Once this knowledge is in place, sharing it becomes automatic and

effortless—AIM Members know this from experience.

Personal experiences always come to mind easily, and using your experiences to help others is always rewarding and satisfying. As a child, I’m sure your mother told you not to touch a hot stove because she cared enough to not see you in pain. Your AIM family feels the same care; we don’t want to see anyone hurt or in pain, especially when there are AIM products that could help them.

“Care enough to share” might sound a little clichéd, but it is the foundational philosophy of The AIM Companies. We will continue to promote the way to better health and improved

wealth with Nutrition That Works for many decades to come.

In partnership for life,

Greg WrightAIM Chief Operating Officer

Weight loss has its benefits

Within the last year, Nick has lost seventy-two

pounds thanks to exercise, diet, and AIM.

“With the AIM products and the weight

loss, I was able to get off all five medicines I

was taking,” Nick said. His medicines included

prescriptions for blood pressure, cholesterol,

and blood sugar.”

Testimonials should not be

con strued as

representing

results

everybody can

achieve.

“I forgot to tell him not to fall.”

That thought woke Lois

King early on the morning

of July 12, 1995. Her son Nick

had already left for work.

At the construction site,

Nick was walking in the

rafters when he fell twenty-

five feet onto a concrete

floor. He hit the floor feet

first with such impact that

he bounced back into the

air, crashed through wooden

sawhorses, and slammed the

back of his head against the

concrete.

He was rushed to the hospital. Miraculously,

Nick did not break any bones or injure his spinal

cord in the fall, but doctors feared brain trauma.

Within twenty-four hours, Nick crashed and was

rushed into emergency neurosurgery. Three

days after surgery, Nick had yet to wake up.

“The surgeon said that there was no sign

of life. Nick was totally brain dead,” Lois said.

“He gave us papers to donate his organs.” Lois

refused to give up hope. She and her family sat

at Nick’s bedside for six weeks while he remained

in a coma. Around the hospital, Nick earned the

nickname “the boy who wouldn’t die.”

Six weeks after he was given up for dead, Nick

awoke from his coma. His vision was gone, and

he was without even the most basic of motor

skills. But his memory was still in tact. It was a

miracle for him to even be alive.

Once at home, Nick had chronic diarrhea. Lois

consulted Chairman’s Club Director Teresa

Schumacher after coming across AIM Herbal

Fiberblend®. Nick immediately started taking

Herbal Fiberblend.

“Three weeks and two days later, the diarrhea

stopped,” Nick said.

The next hurdle was his vision. Nick could

see peripherally out of

his right eye and chose

to attend a school in

Denver, Colorado, to

learn how to live with

impaired vision. Lois sent

him AIM Proancynol®

2000. The results were

immediate.

“The first time I got

light perception in my

left eye is after taking the Proancynol,”

Nick said.

And the good results continued.

“In January 2000, the eye doctor said

that there’s nothing he could do. Well,

since then, my sight improved. Now, I

can see stuff out of my left eye, and my

right eye just keeps getting better.”

In addition to vision help, Nick also regained

feeling and strength in his left hand, something

he had been without since the accident.

Fifteen years after the accident, Nick is living

independently at his house in Olathe, Kansas,

working for a local restaurant, and serving as

the vice chair of the Persons with Disabilities

Advisory Board.

“He’s a miracle,” Lois said.

are a constant source of inflammation—high blood sugar levels (glucose)—can damage your heart valves, contribute to atherosclerosis (risk of heart attack), and form blood clots (risk of stroke). These are just a few examples among many health issues related to inflammation.

The heart of the matter is that you can reduce inflammation with the daily essentials—greens, essential fatty acids, and fiber—and maintain your engine with natural health products.

Heart of GreensMake sure you are getting enough

greens by eating fresh vegetables and supplementing your diet with nutrient-

loaded AIM BarleyLife® or AIM LeafGreens™. Taking either product (or both at separate times during the day) has a natural anti-inflammatory effect on your body and helps to keep your pH levels alkaline.

A great addition to promoting heart health is AIM ProPeas™, an all natural vegetable source of protein from non-GMO field peas. Protein keeps body tissues healthy by building,

maintaining, and repairing the tissues that compose our muscles, organs, and

If your body is a car, then your heart is the engine.

So what can you do to keep your engine running optimally for a long lifetime?

The answer includes getting enough exercise, sufficient sleep, and proper

nutrition. All three are essential for maintaining the health of your heart and preventing illness.

The Black Heart of Chronic Inflammation

One of the key factors in the onset of diseases, including those that are heart-related, is chronic inflammation. Inflammation can result from any number of factors, for example, a lack of physical activity, excessive stress in your life, and toxic environments.

Another major factor is poor nutrition. Your diet can provide all the nutrients you need to keep your heart healthy, or it can

weaken it with pro-inflammatory foods and drinks, such as fatty meats, bread (made with refined flour), processed snacks (source of

trans-fat, preservatives, sugar, etc.), alcohol, most juices, and pop (high

sugar content). Sugar is a primary source of in-

flammation. Be careful about the amount that ends up in your blood - stream because your heart con-

tinuously pumps blood throughout your body. Blood cells that

CellSparc 360, exercise, and unprocessed salt make a difference“A few years ago, I began using AIM CellSparc 360® after my cardiologist

increased the dosage of my high blood pressure medication. Now I don’t have heart palpitations, and I don’t take blood pressure drugs anymore. Along with exercising and using unprocessed salt, I know CellSparc 360 really made a difference.”

a fiber-rich diet include a lower risk of coronary heart disease, reduced blood pressure, lower serum cholesterol con centrations, and bet ter control of blood sugar levels (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 1994).

Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract and CellStar Pomagrape Juice for Antioxidants

With Aged Garlic Extract you get all of the health benefits of fresh, organic garlic without its disagreeable side effects. The results of a study published in the Journal of Nutrition (2006) provide compelling evidence that Aged Garlic Extract not only helps to prevent heart disease, it also lowers the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s.

CellStar juice belongs in the category of superjuices. Its Pomagrape blend pro-vides antioxidant-rich ingre dients, including pomegranate and grape seed extract, which provide heart-health benefits by protecting cells against oxidation.

When it comes to maintaining the health of your body’s engine with heart-healthy supplements, AIM provides only the best available.

CellSparc 360 for Coenzyme Q10Of all the nutrients that your heart requires,

coenzyme Q10 tops the list. This antioxidant nutrient provides the spark that ignites your energy molecules to life. Your heart requires more energy than any other organ in your body. CellSparc 360 provides a daily supply of coenzyme Q10, especially for the cells of your heart muscles.

AIMega for Omega-3 and -6 Essential Fatty Acids

AIMega provides daily amounts of omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids (EFAs) for the structure and function of every cell in your heart and body. EFAs must come from your diet on a daily basis because they cannot be produced by your body. EFAs help your heart by improving blood circulation, regulating blood pressure, preventing blood clots, reducing inflammation, and lowering triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels.

FibreBalance or fit ’n fiber for Fiber

Your body needs the daily recommended 26–35 g of fiber as well. The heart-health benefits of

immune system. Un like animal pro tein, vegetable protein pro motes a healthy pH balance. Since most of us do not get enough protein in our diets, ProPeas is a natural healthy choice.

Natural Heart Health ProductsFurther support for your heart is

found in the AIM Heart Health Starter Packs, which are less expensive than purchasing the products individually.

Testimonial

From chronic illness to

Renewed health

February 2011 7

Shared by Katelyn Andrews, Alberta Ever since I can remember, I have been sick

as a result of infections. By the time I was three years old, I was already hospitalized twice with life-threatening illnesses.

Going to school was a challenge as I seemed to miss more school than I attended. I spent more days lying in bed with a fever than enjoying life in school or being with family and friends. I even did home schooling for a while because I was always sick with severe colds, the flu, or sinusitis.

My doctor put me on high dosages of antibiotics for months at a time in the hopes that the viruses in my system would be killed off. Nothing helped, and I began to accept that this was going to be my way of life.

The last battery of tests and x-rays revealed that my sinus cavity was so congested that my doctor was ready to admit me to the hospital if my fever went any higher. Sinus surgery was tentatively scheduled.

My brother’s piano teacher, AIM Director Janet Breitkreutz, heard how sick I was, so she shared AIM products with us and invited my mom and me to an AIM meeting, where the guest speaker was Rose Bird, chartered herbalist and general manager of AIM Canada. After watching

some videos and listening to testimonials, I was eager to start using the products.

Since September 2010, I have been faithfully taking AIM BarleyLife®, AIMega®, AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, and AIM Proancynol® 2000. I have noticed miraculous results.

After only a few days, I had more energy and began to feel healthier. Within a couple of weeks, my sinuses completely cleared. I have never been able to breathe with clear sinuses before. I am no longer on any antibiotics and do not require the nasal surgery I was dreading.

Since taking AIM products, I feel so much happier than I have ever been. I can spend time with the people I care about and enjoy their company without the nagging illnesses that previously overshadowed my life.

Thanks, AIM, for giving me a happy, healthy future.

From Royal Emerald Director Richard Ekstrom from Hayden, Idaho:

I’ve been around the AIM family for a long time. I even remember being on the ranch of Chairman’s Club Director Jim Kling when I was twelve years old.

I really wanted to touch on the point of how much this company has really blessed me and how much it is changing my life on a personal level.

First off, I lost forty pounds after the 1990 convention by starting with AIM Herbal Fiberblend® and the barley.

AIM is a family, and I am so thankful for the ways they’ve touched my life and my family and for the things I’m about to do because of the company. I’m the nephew of Daniel Erceg. He passed away last year, and he left his AIM membership as a legacy. He inspired me to help other people. I’m also so inspired by J.R. Celski’s story.

I’m involved with a camp, where I had the opportunity to make a speech and use some of the examples of how AIM products positively affect people’s lives—the products go hand in hand with this ministry. I want to thank everybody at AIM for their contribution in making the world a great place, and I’m so proud to be part of AIM and the Celski’s legacy.

I’m looking forward to growing.

From Group Builder Patricia Hamilton from Freeport, Grand Bahamas:

My brother-in-law was diag-nosed with prostate cancer back in May 2010, so I put him on the AIM Garden Trio®, AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, and AIM ReAssure® SP. After he began taking these AIM products, his PSA levels went from ten (high risk) to two (normal).

Ohio AIM ConferenceWilmot, Ohio — October 29-30, 2010AIM Chairman’s Club Director Dr. John Shewfelt recalled seven years ago when he attended his first Ohio BarleyLife conference—there were forty people gathered for a one-day meeting. This year, his seventh consecutive appearance as a guest speaker, there were 450 in attendance over the two-day conference. Sponsored by Blue Diamond Directors Keith and Charlotte Thompson, the 2010 Ohio AIM conference featured two presentations by Dr. Shewfelt—one on the dangers of sugar and the other on colon health. Royal Emerald Director Gerald Phillips also had two presentations—one on juicing and the AIM Garden Trio® and another on male and female hormone health.Other presenters included Royal Emerald Director Ralph Peterson on spreading the AIM message, AIM call center representative Judy Clover on sharing hope with others, and former AIM vice president Rick Coffman on the merits of network marketing and the entrepreneurial spirit. The conference was held in Wilmot, Ohio, in the heart of a four-county area commonly known as Amish Country.

BUSINESS

New retail shopping to benefit Members and customers

February 2011 11

Retail shopping is coming to the AIM website.

Beginning in March, retail customers can place online orders for AIM products through distributors. These new orders require no sign up or registration, and retail pricing will be in place for all products purchased. For those who want to get in, get out, and get their AIM products, the new ordering process is ideal.

The new shopping experience is even better for AIM Members.

Each retail order will be tied to a current Member account, allowing that Member to receive points and cash credit for the order. All points from a retail purchase will be credited to the Member’s Personal Volume. The price difference between retail and wholesale will be given as a rebate to the Member in their commission earnings.

How does AIM choose which Member gets which order?

The retail shopper will have the option of shopping with a Member she knows or finding a Member in her area. Based on location information, AIM will return a randomly-ordered list of local Members among whom the retail shopper can choose.

To get your name on the retail shopping list, all you have to do is sign up for a FREE MyAIMStore website. Every Member with a MyAIMStore is automatically entered into the database.

MyAIMStore Members stand to gain from these changes, too, as the shopping experience for website visitors will be more streamlined. Now, when MyAIMStore visitors choose to “Shop Products,” they will have the choice of shopping retail or wholesale—options that most other e-commerce websites currently offer.

Coinciding with the launch of the retail shopping changes, AIM will no longer offer

Express Customer memberships. Express Customers paid retail prices on products, and this type of consumer can now be accommodated with the retail shopping program. Current Express Customers will be converted to Wholesale Members.

Look for these changes on AIM’s website on March 1. If you have any questions, please contact the AIM Call Center for details.

Benefits and features:l Retail ordering through Member websites

and AIM’s corporate website

l Ideal for new customers who do not wish to sign up as Members

l Retail shoppers connected with AIM Members via search or location

l Members receive Personal Volume Points for retail purchases

l Members receive 100 percent cash credit for difference between retail and wholesale price

l Members can market their MyAIMStore websites as fully-featured e-commerce stores

How to get a MyAIMStore website:Log in to your AIM account at www.

theaimcompanies.com. Click on the MyAIMStore link in the green bar at the top of your Member home page. Follow the instructions, and you’re in!

TESTIMONIAL

On September 27, 2010, AIM Member Moneca Tanner of Surrey, British

Columbia, decided to do something nice for her eighty-four-year-old sister, Anne Choney, who lives over 500 miles away from her in Edmonton, Alberta. Anne had been feeling very tired for some time, so she was not able to do much physical activity.

“Do you think AIM BarleyLife® will give my sister some energy?” asked a concerned Moneca after connecting with AIM Canada’s Vancouver office. Explaining that many people who take it experience increased energy, the AIM employee added, “It probably won’t hurt her.” Moneca ordered two canisters of BarleyLife and one BarleyLife Xtra to be drop-shipped to her sister’s address.

“Anne had kittens when she saw the cost of the three products,” said Moneca with a chuckle, “but she started taking two teaspoons a day in the morning.”

A few days later, Moneca called Anne to find out how she was doing, but her sister didn’t answer the telephone. For the next few days,

she tried calling again, but Anne never picked up the phone. Moneca thought to herself, “Did I kill her with

BarleyLife?”

Moneca called her other sister Emily in Edmonton and asked her to find out if Anne was all right. It turns out

that she was doing better than all right.

When Anne finally called her back, Moneca

asked, “Where have you been?”

“I go here, I go there. I just feel so good!” replied Anne, sounding like a twenty-year-old.

Moneca’s act of kindness—sending her BarleyLife—has given Anne a new lease on life.

Testimonials should not be construed as representing results everybody can achieve.

California Chinese Natural Food Lovers’ ReunionCovina, California – November 6, 2010AIM Chairman’s Club Directors Jackson and Juliet Ger hosted the first California Chinese Natural Food Lovers’ Reunion—a Southern California mini-convention held November 6 in Covina, California. The forty attendees were introduced to the AIM Living Well™ philosophy, and they learned about AIM products. The event generated a home meeting the following week, plus two individual coaching sessions. The Gers greatly appreciated the support of their Fourth-generation upline Mary Lee, and they see a great opportunity for AIM to flourish in the Chinese community.
